Jefferson agreed to a two-year NBA contract with the Magic on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson had previously been on a two-way deal with the team. The new contract presumably opens up the possibility for more playing time for the 26-year-old, though he has just 68 career NBA minutes under his belt, so don't expect him to play a major role any time soon.

Jefferson agreed to a one-year contract with the Magic on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson was a restricted free agent with the Magic this summer and played with the team in Las Vegas Summer League. He'll be back in Orlando for the 2019-20 season, but given the frontcourt depth the team boasts, he likely won't play much of a role on the NBA level.

Jefferson recorded a game-high 24 points (11-17 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 26 minutes in the Magic's 96-92 loss to the Heat in the Las Vegas Summer League on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson was a huge force on the glass once again, pulling down a game-high 15 rebounds to go with his superb scoring total. Jefferson's 18.5 points and 12.0 rebounds per game over his last two contests showcase how dominant he can be, but he's likely to be buried on the depth chart this season.

Jefferson pitched in 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, and four steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 84-79 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson neared a double-double while swiping several steals, showcasing why Orlando extended him a qualifying offer. He was among the top players in the G League last season, but it'll be tough for Jefferson to make much of an impact for the Magic unless injuries or trades involving one of Nikola Vucevic or Mo Bamba occur.

Jefferson was extended a qualifying offer by the Magic on Tuesday, making him a restricted free agent.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson saw limited action as a rookie last season, playing 68 minutes and totaling 27 points, 21 rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks. There's a strong chance he'll remain in the Magic organization, as it's unlikely he fields offers from many teams.

Jefferson managed five points (1-1 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in six minutes during Monday's 121-109 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Jefferson saw limited action but filled up the stat sheet, finishing with career highs in scoring, minutes, and made free throws while matching his best rebounding effort. Nevertheless, this was just his 10th appearance of the season, and he's highly unlikely to see substantial playing time unless the Magic are eliminated from playoff contention prior to the final regular season matchup.

EDGE Analysis

Orlando transferred Jefferson to the G League's Lakeland Magic on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The two-way player will suit up in Lakeland's matchup with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants on Wednesday but could rejoin the parent club ahead of its final pre-All-Star break game Thursday at home versus the Hornets. Jefferson has appeared in four contests for Orlando this season, averaging 1.0 point and 1.5 boards in 3.5 minutes per contest.
